I've been getting quite a number of emails from students of
Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti state bemoaning the recent increase in their school fees. According to the students, the school outrageously increased their fees for the 2013/2014 academic session by over 40%. The students got a notice yesterday Monday August 12th informing them of the increase which they say is 'unfair'. For instance Engineering and Law students paid N695,000 last semester but the new fee for this semester is N1,095,000, N695,000 for social and management
college and sciences, N1, 200 000 for medicine students, some fees went from N755,000 to N 1,245,000 and so on.
Some students are saying
no reduction, no resumption. Below is a broadcast that was sent out
Please let us not go back to school until they reduce the
school fees!! Pass this on people..let us protect our parents. If you are
not from ABUAD, please pass it on. 49% increase on the school fees is not a
joking matter!!
Meanwhile, some students have reached out to the media asking us to appeal to the owner of the school, renowned lawyer, Afe Babalola to please reduce the fees for them. Dear Mr Babalola, please listen to the cry of your students.

1 – 200 of 272 Newer› Newest»The fees are astronomical I would say, but you can't just castigate the school, its a business and that's what they decide to charge to run it, so only those who can afford would be welcomed, but then with such sharp increase I can be sure lots of folks wouldn't have planned for such steep rise in fees, so I pray their cries are heard.
I clearly remembered how funds was raised 4 dis skul,i cant 4get Obat's $5m,and other rich men's donation,with d owner boasting d skul is for d less privilege,i tink d vision nd mission has been lost
Exactly..most parents never expected d fees 2 increase like diz! Fyn,itz "business" lyk u sed, buh pls...tz also exploitation! Itz 2 much man!
Very well said Prince
Make dem beg am ooo! B4 he stiff my pops neck
I concur
I love my scul Graaaaaat ife. Fees less than 20k per session and still d Oba Awon University (OAU) and the first in Nigeria....doubt?? Check the webometric rating. Tell them to port to OAU shap sharp dats if they will be accepted. PHYKEL
Is that a school? where a student cannot speak good English. well my kids wont study in that f****** country called Nigeria. everything over there is rubbish,every damn thing is not going right. disgusting country*spits*
49% increment is outrageous, let the management listen to their pleas and do something about it, i would also like to use this medium to beg the government and asuu to let us go back to the classroom
And who's castigating the schl? Calm ur titties and let her jus pass d msg!
Hehe..God go help una ooh
I don't think the charges are too much for the services they are providing...If education is expensive, then try ignorance. And this is the reason why ASUU is on strike, cost the cost of maintaining the University considered too high by the Nigerian government. Maybe at this point we should respect the government for making University education almost free.
PC with ur comment i dont need to say anymore bcuz u hav said it all here
Na wa o!dat money don reach me finish my university education 4 federal university even finish postgraduate self....chai!
The fees are outrageous! This seems like exploitation to me.and everyone knows that money doesn't f*ckin grow on trees..the school thinks that we don't have any choice buh to pay since we don't wanna sit @ home buh I bet we are gonna prove em wrong.
Linda thank you so so much, wat pains me most is dat dey say its a NON-PROFIT organisation, dis man must b stopped 4rm exploitin pple oo
How do you increase tuition by 40%?
I really don't get the educational system in Nig.
I went Uni somewhere in the UK before moving to NY and I don't remember ever having this sort of sky rocketed fee imposed on us.
My siblings who went uni at American Uni of Nig,Yola complained about same thing too,how sad!
Linda Ikeji I LOVE YOU! Afe has to see this

My prince charming i luv ur comments,i luv u
Aunty Linda.All abuad students r saying thank u 4 dis.Upon dese fees no water,no lyt 2.wat a skul!!!
Why do you blame increase in school fees in private universities? The people in govt have deliberately kill federal universities due to their selfish interest.You can only know when a child enters a federal university you do not know when he/she will graduate due to ASSU and govt palava.The simple truth is that education today in Nigeria is for the highest bidders.No hope for the less privilege.The unfortunate thing is that most of the proprietors of these universities were products of either free education or govt scholarship. It is case of getting to the top then remove the ladder.We can only appeal to them to be more considerate in their price increase.

That's a bit harsh don't you think?
I see sum abuad marketing staffs on dis blog alredi.u guyz shud kip quiet,u guyz knw d truth.Dnt u guyz complain of ur salary.Confused pips.Smh!!!
I can tell you this and this for sure: Afe won't reduce the school fees! I finished from the school this year and all I'm grateful for is that I'm done. For y'all saying he provides for all and shit.. Crap! U really need to visit and live in the school to understand! Those outrageous fees don't even cover feeding of some sort! We have to beg the people working in the cafeteria when they're serving us food as if we didn't pay for it for them to add more. They used to serve us food like we're dogs.. 50 naira for one scoop of rice??? And then, the accommodation too.. I'm sure u think there's AC in all the rooms right? Think again!!! We use ceiling fans.. And then on top of that, they make us pay "compulsory fees" else we won't sit for exams! When I got in, he made my parents believe in the project saying it was for charity and all that, but since when did paying 1.2m become charity??? That man is just a thief, just like every other corrupt politician. And then he gives scholarships worth 100,000, for what??? All I'm gonna say is, ABUAD students, if u're going to 200L, pls collect ur transcript and move on cos before u finish, u'll be paying close to 2m per session but for those in 300L and above, God'll help and provide for ur parents! I'm not gonna put my name here, I still need my certificate abeg!!!
Killer_Keed!
Who will marry u??? U haven't gotten yourself out of the slums you are busy spiting around your dirty surroundings and saying your kids wont study here..help yourself out, then find a man..my dear so many stages you have got to achieve,so shut up.
Why pay 690,000k for a nigerian university Hian abeg Mk una go school abroad where u ll get a good run for your money. Mk una leave all these private universities Mk only their family members attend
Who says the increament is not too much. Let's first ask them, is there any agreement on the interval of school fees increament? Like in my own skul, it's already a laid down rule dat skul fees will be increased in 4 years interval. Even with that, 40percent increament is too much. And at the same time, i don't think AFe Babalola is the only private skul in Nigeria, we still have skuls like Bowen, Al-Hikamh, fountain Uni, Adeleke Uni, Oduduwa, Cresent Uni, convenant Uni, redeemers, Jabu, and such like , which pays lesser. Some even pay as low as 286k, 351k,400+K. If Afe insist they wont reduce d fees, student who can't afford it should get transcript and move to another skul. Staying at home wont help coz they'll want to use "Time" to get you to concur with the fees. Many parents will go for Money Rituals to meet up with this new skul fees and that is going to be a social Uncomfortability again. Afe should try to reduce d fees, the increament is too Outrageous. Repping FUO
Ova 1 million 4 law*God punish deir papa*great uniz lik uniben our sch fees nor reach 20k evn oau n ui*u pple u beta port 2 federal uniz o*nd 4get all dese oloshiz dat wana exploit us

linda, pls can you censor the profile images of some of your comments? Prince charming has a particularly pornographic image- it is unnecessary. your blog is respectable and you should censor it for lewd/offensive language and imagery. it is the way forward if you want to be taken seriously as a world class blogger. thanks and best wishes.

U wanna increase d schl fees? Fine bt nt dis much (pls post ma comment sis linda)
Anon 12.38 dats y u r on strike na...ur private peeps will graduate n den occupy d jobs b4 its gets to u
If any one can afford 1.2m for uni education, why not school abroad then. Its amazing how school fee has risen. In my uni days (10yrs) ago i paid a total of 70k for all my four years in school. God help naija. Dont think i will ever bring my kids back to that country.
Linda!!!! Thanks for helping us :*
Wen y'all hear of afe babalola university,Most of u hv overrated ideas of the skul.trust me,d skul is jst lyk everioda gud private skul.....nothin extra rili.i understand d issue bout d cost of runnin a uni buh d prob is dat u dnt jst increase fees from 1.2 million in one yr to 1.8 million d nxt yr.dats outrageous.if d skul cud b run d previous yr at dat amt,den wat calls for a 500 thousand naira increase.accomodation increased from 100,000 to 300,000.r d students lodgin in White House or a 7 star hotel?these tins shud b lukd into.
From wat I checked,d fees for medical students is 1.8 million nd nt even 1.2 million
Well said jare Prince Charming. If u can't afford it den 4get it. Who said private uni's don't go on strike? Lol #jst asking#
Am a first time commenter. I have been reading for a while but I just had to comment on this post.
Even Covenant University is not this expensive and it is one of the best private schools in the country. I know for a fact that engineering students pay less than 800k. So what is Afe B.saying? A school that he was shouting abt that it ws for less privileged???? Rubbish.
Lastly, keep up d good work ma'am,I admire u.
Tee~why.
Some law students paid 755,000 last session for the useless services available, and now this next session they are paying close to 1.3M for the same useless services.I think the school is taking advantage of the fact that federal schools are on strike and Abuad doesn't go on strike
Linda fenkz so much for helping the students to broadcast this. I'm a student from that school and I can proudly say there is no justifed reason for this crap. The accomodation space is 150000 thousand for a four beded room its not like we av toilet in this room o we don't even have water early in the mawnin we always have to queue in the bathrooms early in the mawnin. We buy rubbish food at expensive rate . Everything is jst soooooo expensive in dis skul to the extent of having a shop where tins are sold and the woman calls herself Iya Expensive. This is jst a means of exploiting us . I am about quoting what the Registrar of the school said when I called her yesterday. Our dear Mrs Oluborode had the gut and ordersity to say"yes my dear the increase in school fees is true. You know there was jst a SLIGHT increase in the fees due to the expenses the school would have to cover". This is just not FAIR
I ponder what makes the fees of these private schools this outrageous....Great UniUyo. 11500
Were trying to pass a msg nd nt use this as a medium to compare fees besides most of y'all commentin r frm federal skuls wats wv d "cn't speak good english"?nigerians jst knw hw to divert frm d point pls jst let linda pass dis msg on!!!
The skool always make noice dat it is not after money bt quality education.. wonde ow dat is obvious wwith sudden increase in fees..dis man love money like mad
The last time I checked, the founder of d skool always make noice dat the school is not based on profit making.. the sky rocket of school fees by over 40% is unimaginable...

Na wah o,the increase is much. Isn't better their parents send their children to the UK @ once to study? Mtcheeeeeeeew
The school fees increment is astronomical,yet in all his interviews,Barrister Afe Babalola always claim that ABUAD was not established for profit motive,but as his own contributions to revamping the educational sector in Nigeria. Who is deceiving who? Olusola Oso. http://www.olusolaoso.blogspot.com/
Dear abuadites au are we sure afe wud c dis nd wat if he doesn't....wats paining me nau..is dat he just ruined ma plan of moving to 2bedded
If u can't afford it, go to a public uni n stop whining!
Wat a skul so expensive dnt dey think dat our parents are workers do they tink our parent pluck money 4rm trees we all have siblings and the r also in university pls reduce d skul fees pls.
Education 4 Da Rich. If Ur Folks Ain't Rich Enough Make U No Show Ur Face Is Now Da Slogan Of All Dis Glorified Secondary Schools. I'll Still Go 4 My Government Institution Of Higher Learnin' AnyDay AnyTime Cuz Da Difference Is So Visibly Clear When U Get A So Called Graduate From All Dis Glorified Secondary Schools & A Well Endowed Graduate From A Federal Institution Of Higher Learnin' In Da Same Field Of Operation. I Just Pray Our Government Will Get Our Educational System Right & Believe Me Dat Will Be Da End Of Da Road 4 All Glorified Secondary Schools Cuz Dia So Called JJC Graduates Ain't Better Than We. One Luv Y'all...
They are rouges in all these private schools... (I'm not a student of abuad tho) but they do this same thing in my own school too. They keep exploiting our parents and the painful thing is as a final year student ur parents would av no other choice than to pay... All I can say is may God help us.
BLOOD OF GOD!!!!! Wait, so if you eventually graduate does the school immediately offer you a job or make sure your life is excellent? Because at these price, any man could be set up good. Haba! The price is too high, even for a private school, it is even higher than schools in Ghana and the actually teach there. Unless all their lecturers are professors and their lesson plans US standard I don't think it is fair to ask for that much!!
ABUAD is meant for those who can afford d bills. There is So much to be done and money would be used. Monthly Diesel consuption is N50M,salaries are paid to over 1000 staff members etc. Pls students, washing your dirty linen outside is only damaging the image of the schl whose certificates u would carry some day. I know ther is PTF(parents\Teachers Forum), go through that and stop posting funny comments and images of the founder. I understand ur plight but go through the right approach. GREAT ABUAD STUDENT!
The school is just not being realistic, they should try and be considerate, what of parents with 2 to 4 kids there, what the hell are they meant to do.... As old as Afe is, he still thinks that money grows on trees.
Really?
Not Nigeria but Republic of Benin,Ghana or wherefa!
Koh kan aye...u don't need to bring it on ere,its no one's business...
Btw...you are 'in' Nigeria,don't use the word 'that' use the word 'this'..
I admit my country Nigeria is FUCKED but it doesn't need ur condemning and spitting!
Nigeria is your country!!
It only needs prayers...enough of all that!....u'r sighted already hunnie
4 u sayin itz nt 2 much, will u pay my nxt fees. please o. Afe has to see this one. no reduction no resumption.
Wut a waste these students have done with their time...its a private school so "no resumption no reduction" doesn't count cuz lectures will go on. They could have just organised a meeting with the founder instead of going 2 all out! A peaceful dialogue wuld hv done more...
Greatest UNIBEN....we rock jor...Unibest..
ABUAD prides itself as a the best private university in Nigeria and also having the best college of Law among all universities in Nigeria and then as a philanthropic institution, these are statements it's uses in boosting it's profile, sharp increases such as these is not philanthropic in nature, he should reconsider and not milk the peeps (parents and kids) who made ABUAD "the fastest growing university" and all what ABUAD claims it is today.
Where would you place University of Ibadan (the Premier University)? OAU's great, UI's also great but the first.
...Sir Olu
mine is a federal uni too(uniport)...and i pay #32,500...while medical student pay abt #40,500..(mb fee included)...

49% increament of fees is sooo outrageous..WTF!!! If i could afford that,I'd rather send my child abroad than pay such a crazy amount to some stupid private university in Nigeria who is even yet to gain good publicity and of which,certainly,the standards can not be compared to most universities abroad#Rubbish
PRETTY GIRL
My school is d lastest one in country, come here wit no wahala. HNAUB-houdegbe north american university Benin Rep
Thank u linda! I still don't know how to tell my father. I have to travel for surgery this summer and my schl fees has increased? How do I tell him? Afe is just being wicked. This is so unfair. I'm not the only child, we are 5 biko
First,not every1 in dis sch is a Rich man's kid,some of us like myself,my parents pay tru deir nose,deprive demselves of so many things,bcos dey don't wish for me to sit @ home....d strike nd sitting @ home waiting fr admission..now deres dis much increase in fees how do I break d news to dem??its better I travel out wif dat money get a better nd sound education dan pay dat moni to a nigerian university..dis is far from exploitation,but WICkedness..What is he doing wif d money???Hiding under the pretence of patriotic acts nd exploiting citizens..its not fair
U guys chose private so enjoy it like DAT....dnt cry 😜
I can't laugh sha!! After rushing to a private school claiming dat public universities aint good enuf, you guys are nao complaining.I mean some of you are not fully qualified to be in a university..some Nigerian students out there can't even afford #100000 for school fees and u paid #695000 last year. Since nobody forced you guys to go to ABUAD in d first place,I think u shld face ur problem alone and let us face our ASUU palava..abeg, if u can afford #695000, then u shld pay #1m plus..
Remember u are in a private school so if u don't resume, u are playing with ur admission.
I'm nt too surprised the school fee went up. when the man was seriously giving out all sorts of scholarship now the students v to pay for it. Me dat m tinking of going dere hmmmm, abeg make I just reconsider oh! I pray the man reduces it oh

Mr or mrs truthhurts, you absconding egocentric nicumpool, do you have any ounce of medulla activity present in that deserted cranium of yours? Or are you just retarded? Well It might probably be no fault of yours aS it is understandable through the mannar in which you spoke that you lack the intelligence capacity to undertake a university progrAmme and as Such I pardon your frivolous and lackadesical display of ignorance and illitracy. Fyi: abuad Is one of the fastest groWing private unis in nigeria.
Its 2 much jor, wat services r dy rendering? Hw can only accommodation b 150k for 4 in a room and 300k for 2 in a room? No b se AC even dy am. Am a student of abuad and am sayin its 2 much and on our website its written 'a non-profitable organisatio'. Mtchew
Na wa
Really this is wickedness and lack of consideration on the part of the school's management! I remember how the school was funded from the scratch by rich people, politicians and businessmen alike. Afe Babalola clearly boasted at every opportunity given that it was a non-profit organisation and its even labelled that on its website! We who go to public schools that are for profit dont spend half of that in our duration of study there. Those students should go abroad! Ive been to the school and if u pay such fees for that, then really the value of education in Nigeria has reached an ALL TIME LOW!! The Afe Babalola man is exploiting innocent Nigerians whom he sweettalked into believing the school was a good choice! I pity those who have already spent two years and above in the institution. Something should be done about this!! The rich cannot continue to exploit the general public! #Noreduction #noresumption
Na wa
Thank u all 4 ur comments,to all haters we understand ur plights nd 2 pple giving us supports,thumb up 4 gud reasoning!I urge evry abuad students 2 stand firm 2 face dis injustice
†нε school is lk hell. They increase school fees anyhow n still d students dnt ave any say @ all lectures n non accademic staff beat up students as if its a secondary skool. God help nigeria o. Non profit organisation dey say nonsense. Afe babalola YBNL.
What is astronomical about the fees? If you cannot afford it, ship out.....It is a free market of demand and supply; of offer and acceptance..there are other private universities that would charge you far lesser fees; after all your parents believe that if they've not thrown hefty money on your education, then they've not given you the best ...Afe Babablola did not bind you with chains, saying you must pay or nothing...he's operating a private enterprise and not a charity please!!!! I ATTENDED UNILAG FOR BOTH MY FIRST AND LAW DEGREES...AND I AM FINE...HANDSOME AND FAIRLY WELL PAID...I COULDN'T HAVE IMAGINED ATTENDING ANY OTHER NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY!!!!!!!!
And then he goes about telling everyone the school is a non-profit making institution. Non-profit n you raise the fees by 40%?? That man be milking parents mehn!! Fvckd Country....Only God can save us.
...the cost of maintaining University is too high but the cost of maintaining ten jets for the President is not high abi? Here comes the BIGGEST MUMU in Nigeria!
Miss lepa shandy I can bet u're in one of those road side colleges abroad, where the name has never been heard of and you stand there saying the students can't speak good english.. The "F" word you are using on the social media is the good english u can speak right? Anyways I don't blame you, that's what you think english is all about.. I'm nt a student of ABUAD but next time you don't takl that way and you don't even know what the future holds yet so don't say your children won't school in one country or the other..
Pls we did not ask u guys 2 advertise ur scul fees..at least I'm not stuck at home bcus of strike..we only asked u guys 2 help us pass d msg so dat our founder can consider us.. Thanks Linda
Aziin the management of the school Os crazy! And the 1.2M doesn't include feeding oh. They student buy their food from cafe. a good meal there is noting less than 750/plate. And the stupid 2bedded room they charge 300k doesn't hv AC or private bathrooms, the plumbing is bad(leaking walls),water only runs in d morning,and believe me after tuition fees, they still pay a lot of ridiculous fees like afe shirt, afe scarf.(stupid ppl).when my sister entered the school 3yrs ago,what she paid was below #500k. Now shez in 400l, the man is asking us to bring 1.2M. The man is crazyyyy
Whatz he tinkin
With our emormous resources education ought to have been free and compulsory,it's quite unfortunate that what we have today is not what we deserve. Even going through school with high fee does not guarantee jobs. Why are we in this mess? Is it a crime to be a Nigerian? Parents/guardians are under constant pressure to meet up with exorbitant school fees. Lord please help us, this is too much.
We aint saying education is expensive but this is mere exploitation, no parent who has the strenght to train their children in private uni will want then to stay at home during ASUU strike, but that notwithstanding. Why ll fee increase by 49%, this isn't fair at all. Let's all put ourselves in the shoes of this parents, no parent who works hard to get his money will be able to pay this without thinking twice.. SAN Afe Babalola will say the school is non profit makin what if it will be?? Pls not all parents are stealin nigeria's money ooo .. No Reduction No Resumption..
Our parents are not rutualists boda afe
Thanks PC, well said. Rly D skul fees is alarming!! For what now?? Ova 1m 4 jes a session?? In a public school, students can protest buh in a private uni you don't av a choice. The students shld meet their parents so they can discuss it during PTA meeting. Bringing it up here will not solve anything. Its a private uni the owner can charge wat he/she likes.
iont know exactly what to say. if the skoool was truly built for charity purposes, d owner should know that no less priviledge can affors 5percent of that murderous amount. ahn ahn...kilode gan!!!!
Port 2 unilorin! No asuu,no increase in school fees
Yh like u said its business buh this is xploitation @ its peak. As a law student i paid 575,000 in 100l nw 4 my 400l i av to pay 1,250,000.. Mind u according 2 afe this is a charitable institution. Yh most of d populace r politians kids buh some of us aint.. So u cant just do this over night.. Our results aint even out n this is all thwy can come op with
Na una dey patronize dem,so dey have d guts 2 be misbehaving. Federal school is d best cos it isn't abt d school u attended but ur destiny.
Ori e ti gbeso,oniranmu...who exactly is begging you to bring your kids to naija..you guys amaze me gan-an. Keep forming what you're not shogbo, We'll soon get you.
A school hiding under the saying of it bn a philantropist is letting others pay 1.2million per session, how unreasonable can the founder and the management of the school be?
the way things are going now makes one wonder if education is the sure way- not like it was ever easy. i recall quite clearly with my ears when the owner said the institution was a non-profit org and all the funds raised by top personnel to promote it as also mentioned by Eneje but it seems all that focus is lost now in the founder's eyes. with a careful calculation, 2years fee in that school should equal 4years in a foreign/abroad school-talking of usa and india with all their cheep education programmes.really saddening.......
You are apparently a bloody illiterate.... You claim not to allow you children study here, but ur english is far worse than that of a person who isn't learned.. I pity the condition of you unborn kids
K
It Ȋ̝̊̅§ seruxly unfair 4a Man 2jst increase d sch fees anyhow...aw results α̲̅яr nt out bt he can increase sch fees....nt all d parents α̲̅я̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ Gov(s), senetor or commissionals, ritualist...we even av some students dat work on der own 2pay 4 der schl fees and after all..we wud still be paying another fee 4 forms and co..seruxly dis Ȋ̝̊̅§ very bad...God knws aw he wants us 2pay 4 d fee bcos it isn't easy 2even raise 695,000 talkless of 10,000......
BABA Α̲̅ARE AFEBABALOLA..... Plssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss Reduce our SchooL fees.....J̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊s̶̲̥̅̊t̲̥̅̊ PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I regret entering dis school....does he fink every body's father is a politician??
That old nigga be like, if asuu can strike indefinitely, I can increase my fee indefinitely too...fucking thief...*Non profit organisation my ass*
Whats ur definition of a good English. ...
*sigh* your condition is rather more serious than that of a mad person..... I'm sure the inconsistency of ASUU strike has ruined your ability to think straight... Why would u think the charges r not too expensive? I don't blame you... I blame you.. The 34k you pay in your school looks huge.... Dullard!
Well, this is pretty outrageous. I mean school fees now paid in millions! I don't think I paid up 2 70k all through my schooling in OAU Ife from 04-09. Well it's a private uni so no SUG protests and the likes... Smh
Y now
=))º°˚˚˚°ºнaĦaнaº°˚˚˚°º=))
Woah! You are a born retard.... Its too sure... I'm not from abuad tho, but then its just sad that students from this 21st century would open their unclean guts to say such... Becos you are at home for months due to asuu, do you want to spoil others life like that too?
Nd he said he is a philanthropist....
Hahahhhahahahaha annon 12:38 uniben na skul? U kal dat demon possessed environment skul? Full of devils in form of students abegi go slip even if d "ting"is free I can't neva be part of it besides I finish frm a private skul .u seeeeee
If you went to a federal university dats ur prblm seriously stop making those of us dat went to private universities feel bad afterall we are nt experiencing the damn strike like u pple. Btw abuad's administration shld do sumtin abt the outrageous fees!!!
Finally covenant university is still the cheapest of all this universities. Lepa shandy or whatever your name is, Nigeria was not created by you so u are in no place to judge and spit on it. Its people like you that are the bad eggs. May others not spit on your destiny o
ABUAD does not pay tax cos it is regarded by the govt to be a non-profit organisation,so I wonder y students pay to the d tune of 1million.This still makes me wonda,Are Afe Babalola is a know pHilantrophist and a role model to generations bt this latest turn by d university management bugs me and it causes for concern y dis shud be happening unda his noses. It is an open secret dat he is one of d pioneer for a national referendum of all stakeholders in d country to curb d pervalent ills in dis country of which exploitation lyk dis s one.

I'm in the college of Sciences in Afe Babalola University. I paid a little above 500K last session. But this new session, my fee was sky-rocketed to 900K. Almost DOUBLE by last session fees!!! Please tell me, how fair is that?
Ochimooo passin with my keke na pepe. If education is costly try ignorance ooo.
Increasing †нε school fees,yet no improvement on †нε hostel and housing facilities,still same old creepy ceiling fan,leak on †нε roof,inadequate supply of water and Electricity. Personally I think,Afe Babalola will have a lot to tell God on his Judgement day.
This is just too much, I did had my bsc from a state university and msc from a federal university. All d school fees I paid during my undergraduate days added to d one I paid for postgraduate is not even up to what they pay in this school in a session before d increase. Na waoh!!!! Hope Afe has jobs for all d school graduates cos it will be heartbreaking to pay all these fees and still be jobless in this country after graduation.
Before y'all start complaining about how this only happens in Nigeria, remember tuition fees in the UK skyrocketed by 100 percent and over this year, leading to a 40% drop in university admissions. But at least we were prepared for it at least 2 yrs before it finally happened. The protest and cries of students never helped either. So for people who are quick to compare...
Abuad students,we are not goin 2 pay oooooo. Dos he wana kill students,am sure dos stupid cafetaria pple will increase deres 2
If they think it is too xpensive, they shld cme over to govt univ. And pay cheap fees bt spend 7yrs for a 4yrs course bcos of ye ye asuu strikes
Instead of wating your money on such school, why not add a little to the money to study abraod. The school is not a federal university, its not worth it and it is absolute RUBBISH. because after wasting such amount of money, u will still carry your certificate up and down looking for Job and trust me, most of those organizations also consider the school you graduated from when it comes to recruiting. NONSENSE
Afe Babalola University,Ado-Ekiti(ABUAD)..skul dat was built on charity basis is nw a chariTHIEF institution.ABUAD,oma she o
ABUAD of life! The money plenty nah choi, all for education....SMH.
I beg to differ. In 2003 when I was @ Uni in d UK my tuition was £1050 up until I graduated in 2006. By 2007/2008 fees had been increased (for new entrants) to £3000 plus (for home students). Even tho I dnt support d 40% increase in Afe B. Uni. It might just be necessary to maintain d level of services being rendered. XxxDesTo
Thank you very much Linda, The problem we the student are having against the school isn't only about the drastic increasement of the school fees, but it was only d height of it, In Abuad we spend a whole lot of money on feeding alone, we spend approximately equivalent of our school fees on feeding, and besides there has been no development in anything about Abuad and they keep on increasing the school fees every year, our hostels are as dirty and stuffy as hell.
Tanx so much linda,u are such a darling i hope my founder gets 2 see dis,abuad is the fastest growiwng private university in africa,dis is not the right way 2 make it the best,i hope every1 out there is gonna help us make the noise.
i gbadun u....port to wisconsin....ghana...
